School Lunch Prices
School lunches aren’t too cheap. For low income families, affording a school lunch for their children isn’t easy. Lunch prices may vary from school to school. But, none of them are cheap if you are the one who has to pay the price of the lunch. For that reason, many school provide free and reduced lunches.
School lunches vary from elementary, middle school, and high school. The average price of lunch for an elementary student is $2.18 per meal. The average price of lunch for a middle school student is $2.37 per meal. The average price of lunch for a high school student is $2.42 per meal. The cost rises $0.19 between elementary and middle school, but it only rises $0.05 between middle school and high school.
We have programs to help families pay for school lunches. The main program to do this is free and reduced lunches. School lunch isn’t cheap, and with a reduced price, parents can afford for their kids to eat a healthy lunch at school. Being able to provide a lunch for your kid is important. It sets them up for a good afternoon of learning.
Together, we need to help spread the word of free and reduced lunches to schools around the world. It is a great program in America and it could be a great programs in other countries as well. In America we need to let people know that it is OK to have to receive a free lunch at school. Many kids won’t eat because they have to go through a different line to receive a free lunch. This is embarrassing to many kids.
